A $10K investment made when the US-Iran war began would be worth $13,056 in ETH, $11,762 in BTC and $11,270 in the S&P 500. Gold would be worth $8,200 and silver would be worth $7,310 over the same window.
Why it matters
ETH leads every asset in the snapshot, with BTC also ahead of the S&P 500 and both precious metals. The comparison shows that assets performed differently during the geopolitical shock. It measures relative performance, not proof that the conflict caused any individual move.
Market impact
ETH's result is $1,294 above BTC and $1,786 above the S&P 500 on the same starting amount. Gold and silver trail the crypto assets and the equity index, leaving a clear cross-asset split. The snapshot is a useful performance check, but its investment signal depends on whether the ranking persists.
